Abelia × grandiflora 'Kaleidoscope' (PBR)
abelia
As the name suggests, 'Kaleidoscope' is primarily grown for its colourful foliage, which starts off in spring as a mix of bright yellow and green. During the summer the colour intensifies and deepens, and then in autumn shades of orange and red creep in. To top it off, it produces small pink-tinted white flowers, which emerge from pink buds, over a long period in summer and autumn. A low-growing, semi-evergreen shrub, it will help beef things up in the shrub border.
How to care for Abelia × grandiflora Kaleidoscope (PBR):
Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. In autumn after flowering, lightly trim back the flowered shoots to retain a neat and tidy shape. Remove any dead or damaged wood in April.
